The Who appeared at the Lad’s Club in Norwich during 1970 or 1971 I’m not sure which.
The website has no mention of this gig.
The website does say that they appeared at the University and at the University of East Anglia (same place) at around this time, however due to a dispute between the Student’s Union and the powers that be at the UEA the gigs, for a period of time, had to be held elsewhere (the Lad’s Club).

Any info is welcome

I never listened to it, because I never had a DAT-player. I borrowed the recorder for this one night, but forgot to transfer it to tape or CD.

I can’t say anything about the quality of the recording, but I’m sure that there’s an intermission (maybe recorded), because I had to buy a coke for my girlfriend from that time, who was diabetic, and at the beginning of the second part she needed sugar …

The concert is interesting, because Pete started Baba O’Riley twice.

Can anyone transfer old DAT-tapes to CD or FLAC?

He played with his daughter Emma Townshend and Peter Hope-Evans. Both sources have four songs, but two tracks are different. The one source is an audience recording, the other is a fm-recording. Both sources have I’m One and Save It for Later. Comparing I’m One shows, that the song is from the same concert. The instrumentations are the same – piano, harmonica, guitar and a drum computer with basses, and a another show with that lineup is unknown.

Audience recording:

Introduction

Eyesight to The Blind

Hiding Out

I’m One

Save it For later (started twice)

FM-Recording

Pinball Wizard

Magic Bus

I’m One

Save It For Later

I’m pretty sure that the sources are from the same recording. Now we have the following setlist:
